Choices for Youth Launches Home for the Holidays Campaign

December 9, 2018 | 1:00 pm

Choices For Youth says the challenges faced daily by the 1,500 plus young people they see every year are often magnified during the holiday season.

Lack of support, lack of affordable housing, and lack of opportunities are just some of the challenges young people face. As a response, Choices For Youth has launched its “Home for the Holidays” campaign, which helps the organization meet the increasing needs of vulnerable young people in St. John’s and the province.

Last year, CFY served over 21,000 meals, sheltered 36 youth in supportive housing, provided emergency shelter for 118 people and supported 62 moms and 90 kids to build healthier family units.
